📌 Types of Crypto Fees:

1. Trading Fees

Charged when buying or selling crypto on exchanges.

‱ Maker Fee: For limit orders (adds liquidity)

‱ Taker Fee: For market orders (removes liquidity)

2. Network Fees (Gas Fees)

Paid to blockchain validators to process your transaction

‱ Higher during network congestion

‱ Varies by blockchain (e.g., Ethereum gas vs. Solana fees)

3. Withdrawal Fees

When transferring assets off an exchange to a private wallet.

‱ Fixed or dynamic based on coin type

4. Deposit Fees (rare)

Some platforms charge for fiat or crypto deposits.

⚠ Tips to Reduce Fees: ‱ Use exchanges with tiered fee structures (like Binance VIP tiers)

‱ Choose lower-fee blockchains (e.g., $BNB Chain, Polygon)

‱ Time your transactions when gas is cheaper

‱ Opt for maker trades when possible
